A short, spoken service for Ash Wednesday. 

What can I expect?

During the service the congregation joins in saying the words of the service, which includes a psalm. There are some readings from the Bible, and prayers are said for the Church, the World and ourselves. There is no music or sermon at this service.

You do not have to familiar with the service – when you enter, you can pick up an easy-to-follow order of service, which will guide you through each part. Visit our guidance on attending services at St Paul's for more information on what to expect.
